A1512024RestoringAshore on her trailer for 5 years since last cruise. Refit and repairs started last summer with intention of her transfer to a new owner on completion. Repairs to hull and hatches completed. Cockpit still requires renovation and engine overhaul required. Rig and trailer all need overaul. Some re-laminating with aeroglazeMinor repairs to hull on the stern, renovation to forward hatch and to both sliding hatches, all completed. Hull rubbed down to wood, primed and undercoated. Major renovation still needed on cockpit seating area and sliding deck. Full overhaul needed on engine which was flooded after failure of bilge pump. Engine controls and 12v system all require work. Metal mast and standing rigging in good order but need cleaning. Running rigging, jib foil and cordage all need checking and cleaning. Trailer needs repainting. Wheel bearing and tyres to be surveyed.
